Peru (Spanish: Peru, Quechua: Piruw, Aymara: Piruw), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish: Republic of Peru · I, IPA: [repuβlika of peɾu]), is a country in western South America. Bordered on the north by Ecuador and Colombia, east by Brazil, southeast by Bolivia, Chile to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru territory was home to the Norte Chico civilization, one of the oldest in the world, and the Inca Empire, the state's largest pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty, which included most of their South American colonies. After gaining independence in 1821, Peru has undergone periods of political instability and fiscal crisis and periods of stability and economic growth. Peru is a democratic republic divided into 25 regions. Its geography varies from the arid plains of the Pacific Coast to the peaks of the Andes and the rainforests of the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country with a medium Human Development Index and a poverty level about 40%. Its main economic activities include agriculture, fisheries, mining and manufacturing of products such as textiles. The Peruvian population, estimated at 28 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans and Asians. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a number significant Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages. This mixture of cultural traditions has resulted in a wide variety of expressions in fields such as art, cuisine, literature and music.
